"In my case, I'm a 51-year-old, so it's trying to put yourself in the shoes of a two year old and trying to blow them away and trying to show them stuff that are going to keep them amazed."Īngers, owner of multimedia presentation company Dangers, was asked by Koba Entertainment last fall to add his technical prowess to the Doodlebops tour that will hit 52 cities across the country, with colourful rock-star siblings Deedee, Rooney and Moe Doodle from the hit Canadian kids' TV show.

However, starting Fall 2013, CBS dropped it for a block run by Litton Entertainment (who had already started running a block similar to the CBS one on ABC and would later do the same to The CW and NBC).Ī notable aspect of the block was that it was targeted to girls for its first three seasons. When Cookie Jar bought out the block, it originally kept the name, but in autumn 2009, they changed it to its current name, Cookie Jar TV. KOL dropped out after the first season (and despite AOL being owned by TimeWarner-who also co-owned The CW with CBS-they never even attempted any cross-promotion between SSP and Kids' WB!), so DiC signed a deal with girls' magazine KEWL to use their name instead, giving it the name KEWLopolis. The block was originally named KOL Secret Slumber Party, and had a sponsorship with AOL (KOL was the kids' area).


Cookie Jar TV was a Saturday-Morning Cartoon block that aired on CBS to help fulfill their affiliates E/I quota, and is programmed by Cookie Jar Entertainment, which bought the block when they took over previous owners DiC Entertainment in 2008.
